Summary:
Inspired by his own fascination with the high Arctic -- its beauty, mystery and harshness -- storyteller Bob Barton has collected and retold his favorite
tales
from
northern
lands
. Here are folk and fairy
tales
from Scandinavia, Russia and Canada's far
North
. Originally passed by word of mouth, a few of the
tales
were published in sources now out of print and were at risk of being lost forever. From magical stories such as "The Reindeer Herder and the Moon" and "Katya and the Goat with the Silver Hoof," to the cleverness found in "Frostbite" and "Grandfather
Bear
," to the surprising outcome in "The Raven and the Whale," readers will turn to these stories again and again. Illustrator Jirina Marton, who herself has long had a deep interest in the
North
, has perfectly captured the spirit of these stories in each of her beautifully rendered paintings.
